Imposters / Political Suicide - RHINOFEST 2010

IMPOSTERSby ELIZA, PARRY, and Mark ChrislerDirected by Kevlyn Hayes

Alan Turing was a gay British codebreaker who helped develop the first computers and an emprical test for artificial intelligence and other minds. To write about him, Chrisler enlisted the two nineteen-seventies robots who first challenged Turing's test. Together with Chrisler, ELIZA and PARRY have written their tribute to Turing: a dark meditation on whether and in what forms our minds really exist.

POLITICAL SUICIDEby Mark ChrislerDirected by Kevlyn Hayes

On the eve of The Six Days War, two disenfranchised, lame-duck world leaders, President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexy Kosygin, feverishly pretend they have the power to stop a nuclear holocaust while trying to shoot and hang themselves.
